evomac Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 As the title states, I am going to be selling my Dell D620. I am tired of the shortcomings of the laptop in OSX (can only use single core, BT doesn't work, had to buy a new wireless card, etc...) So I am looking to get a different laptop as a replacment with the money I got from the D620. I am looking for near 100% operation in OSX. I'd like the following specs if possible. If you guys know of any laptops that come close, please let me know. I've checked the wiki and it's near impossible to google each model to see their specs. CPU - dual core GPU - nVidia w. at least 256mb ram Wi-Fi - must work out of box BT - Must work as well OOB Ethernet - I could do without this, but would be nice to work oob Widescreen monitor is a must Optional but perks: Sleep working Battery management Any help with suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

swirling_vortex Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 How about getting a Mac? How much do you plan on getting for your laptop? If it's an older model, you're probably going to have to pay more out of pocket anyway for a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evomac Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I intend on putting some money towards the laptop, but I also intend on buying it on ebay. I don't need a brand new laptop for what I use it for. Just want dual core, a decent video card, BT, and wireless really. I just want it to work relatively easy w. OSX86.

adrock42 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I weighed it out a bunch. Did some research, and found that really, Mac Book Pro is the way to go. I'm using mine for live and powerful hard hitting computing or video and such so.... I'm actually kinda interested to see if 10.5.6 adds support for nVidia like the rumor sites say. Thats just my opinion. Also my hack still outperforms my new macbook pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofors Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Get a MacBook or MacBook Pro. Check out the refurbished (but good as new) deals at the Apple Store, my brother got refurbished 17" MacBook Pro for well under $2k in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
